Venice Useful Information:

Where to find your consulate in Venice:

If you ever find yourself with a lost passport or (hopefully not) arrested, you will most likely need the services of your country’s consulate or embassy. For those coming from the U.S. you can locate the U.S. Embassy in Rome. Their consulates are located in Florence, Naples and Milan, so to go you will have to travel some to reach them. However, in Venice there is an American Consular Agency at the Venice Airport, however, they only offer limited services but will be able to help as a type of “middle man” for you and the other consulates if you cannot reach them immediately.

In need of a pharmacy (Farmacia in Italian)? Look for any green crosses and the pharmacists there will help you get what you are looking for. Here you can find anything from eye drops and cold medication, as well as toiletries, if needed.

Venice ATM Locations:

You will have no problem finding an ATM in Venice. There are over 100 of them located throughout the city center including one directly outside of the main train station. To view specific locations visit: Venice ATM locations.

Transportation in Venice and more:

There’s no other city like it and for this, you will not find your normal city forms of transportation, however, you will find water taxis, gondolas (more of an expensive tourist experience), water buses, limited bus services (on land) and even the chance to hire a boat. For your cheapest option visit: Water Bus Schedule.
